[PATCH net-next 08/15] batman-adv: tt: remove only the entry which was looked up from the hash

From: Simon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de>

Also in: batman
Subsystem: batman advanced, the rest · Maintainers: Marek Lindner, Simon Wunderlich, Antonio Quartulli, Sven Eckelmann, Linus Torvalds

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

batadv_hash_remove() searches a bucket with a compare callback and unlinks
the first matching entry. batadv_compare_tt() matches any entry for the
same MAC address and VLAN, not the object which was passed in, and the
callers in batadv_tt_local_remove() and batadv_tt_global_free() are not
serialized against the rest of the translation table in any way.

So when the looked up entry was already unlinked by another context and a
new entry for the same client was added in the meantime, these two
functions unlink that new entry instead.

Add batadv_compare_tt_entry(), which matches the very object which is
searched for, and use it for both removals. Nothing is unlinked when the
entry is gone already, batadv_hash_remove() then simply returns NULL and
only the reference of the calling context is dropped.

As a side effect the returned hlist_node can no longer belong to a
different object, so both functions can operate on the entry they were
given.
